Beautiful Georgetown

Thursday 27/11

In the morning we didn't wake up too early as we were going to have a nice day checking out the city. And Georgetown really was what the title says - beautiful. The beauty in it was the street art. We hopped our bikes and after we had gotten to an information centre for some maps, we were off to explore the wonderful streets.

First things first though. We bought our tickets to got to Langkawi island. The place were we got them was close to the port. And while Pedro was off to buy tickets where he could pay by card, I stayed to chat a bit with a local guy who was, to my surprise, very educated about history. He knew about USSR, and was up to date about the Ukrainian situation. As I had not been reading news so much, it was great to get some recent news. Soon Pedro returned and had the tickets already with him. Then we took the map to see the first place to stop for pictures.

Ernest Zacharevic is a Lithuanian artist, he created these 3D street arts in Georgetown. I must admit, these look even better in real life than in pictures.

This one with the bicycle appeared to be the most famous one. It had the most tourists and tuk-tuks stopping by. There were also some locals selling souvenirs there. We also fell for the souvenirs. I got some lovely magnets to bring back home.

The city has also other sorts of arts here and there.

For the end of the day we left our bikes at the  hotel and took a bus across the island. There we stopped in a neat looking place for dinner. While we were waiting for our food the waiter let us into a music room they had just there where Pedro played a bit of guitar and some drums. Turned out to be a peaceful evening.
